Brower Gets a Quintuple Up
John Roberts raised to 8,500 from under the gun, which was called by Eric Buchheit in the hijack, and a player in the cutoff. Then Josh Brower on the button raised all in for his stack of 9,500. He was called by the big blind Jason Aken, Roberts, Buchheit, and the cutoff.
The flop came 5♥2♠8♠ and Aken moved all in for his last 11,000, which Roberts called, but Buchheit and the cutoff folded, as the three remaining players turned the cards on their back.
Josh Brower: Q♥Q♦
Jason Aken: 6♠5♦
John Roberts: A♥7♣
Brower was in front with is pocket queens, and once the board ran out J♠ on the turn and K♥ on the river, Brower secured the rarely seen quintuple up.
Aken managed to stay in the tournament after taking the side pot, was but was eliminated shortly after.
